Classic City Marinas of Athens, Ga., will be offered a long-term lease for the Clarks Hill Lake site formerly known as Little River Marina, according to the Army Corps of Engineers.

Three vehicles were damaged and traffic was snarled briefly Tuesday afternoon from a crash in Evans.

Passengers from two of the vehicles were taken by ambulance for treatment of injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
